A while ago I was contacted by Noorjahan from Afghanistan. He asked me for permission to translate and publish Storynory’s version of the Golden Goose in the Dari language. Although it is by the Brothers Grimm, this was a very free adaptation in my own words. I gladly sent him a free license to use it. His publication is for use in schools, and is financed by GTZ.
I’m really glad to say that Noorjahan has been in touch to say that his book will be published in January. It will be distributed in 700 schools 22 Afghan provinces. It’s the sort of outcome that I would never have thought of when we began Storynory.
